====== DashT - Race, Engine/Energy, Signal K, Database, Line Graphs ======

Enhanced replacement of Dashboard and Tactics plug-ins for OpenCPN v5.2 or greater. All [[https://dashboard-tactics-pi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/dashinst/dashinst.html|Dashboard]] **and** [[https://dashboard-tactics-pi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tactics/tactics.html|Tactics]] instruments are included within the same plug-in, no need to swap. The combination of network connectivity processing threads, enhanced Tactics originated numerical algorithms and the usage of latest web-development techniques allow //DashT// to provide, in addition these great functions:

   * [[https://dashboard-tactics-pi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tactics/tactics.html|Tactics]] instruments and regatta/race processor has been improved, follow the link for details. To mention a few improvements:
  * [[https://dashboard-tactics-pi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tactics/tactics.html#Average-Wind-Instrument|Average Wind Instrument]] has a background thread which distributes the same information to all other instruments, such as the below Race assistant instruments. For that purpose it provides a short term and long term integration of the average wind, making it more suitable for different race configurations.The instrument itself has been modified accordingly:
